Processed food often contains corn and other fillers that can cause your boxer to have bloating and gas. Making food for your boxer doesn't require fancy ingredients that cost an arm and leg. As a matter of fact, fresh meat and vegetables found at your local supermarket make the perfect dog food.
Poultry
Step 1
Boil two chicken or turkey breasts until the internal temperature reaches 160 degrees when tested. Your boxer’s diet should consist of at least 60 percent meat.
Step 2
Add 1/2 cup of peas or carrots to the boiling broth. Allow them to boil until tender. Make sure you always cook carrots and other vegetables before you feed them to your boxer. They have sensitive digestive systems and raw vegetables may cause gas or stomach upset.
Step 3
Chop the chicken or turkey into 1-inch cubes.
Step 4
Mix the meat and vegetables in a bowl. Add 1 egg and 2 teaspoons of the broth to the mixture and stir.
Beef
Step 1
Boil 1/2 pound of beef tips or chopped round steak until the internal temperature is at least 150 degrees.
Step 2
Add 1/2 cup of skinless tomatoes, pumpkin and/or spinach to the boiling broth. Boil the vegetable(s) until tender.
Step 3
Combine the beef and vegetables in a bowl. Add 1/4 cup of plain yogurt and stir.
Always check with your veterinarian before changing your pet’s diet, medication, or physical activity routines. This information is not a substitute for a vet’s opinion.
